Whose interpretation of Jesus's "This is my body" is authoritative?

When I posed this question, you replied by saying that Jesus's interpretion of "This is my body" is authoritative. I then asked you who had Jesus's interpretation, and you replied, "Solo Scriptura". I then asked you, "And who knows what "Solo Scriptura" says about Jesus's interpretation of "This is my body"? You replied "the Holy Spirit", saying "ask him".

So I told you that the Holy Spirit is telling me that "This is my body" means what the Catholic Church says it means. You replied that your leading of the Holy Spirit has more authority than mine because I am a "slave to Roman Catholic dogma". I pointed out that this was a question-begging non sequitur, and so my original question regarding who has the authoritative interpretation of "This is my body" remains unanswered. Right now it looks like your answer (effectively) is: "Me and anyone who agrees with me.

Yes.. As do you.. The observer follows what he observes. The answers to many questions are qualia driven.. An observers vista can be limited.. Thats why the Holy Spirit allows heretics.. but dogma identifies them.. Jesus spoke mainly in metaphor, eating his body and drinking his blood, was just one of them.. What you see as non sequiter isn't.. Maybe you have a blind spot..
